She had been overwhelmed with work all day.
The stacks of documents were daunting, and being new to the job, she hadnât had a moment to learn who the top executives were.
Was Kyson⦠the boss of this company?
Her heart raced.
She quickly bent down and hid her face behind the computer screen, hoping he wouldnât notice her.
She was scared.
âIsnât this the NR Group? How did it become Kysonâs company?â
The clerk beside her whispered, âAre you confused? The NR Group holds the largest share in the Shaw family business empire.
Itâs often simply referred to as the Shaw Group.
â
âBut⦠Iâve checked the companyâs details online.
Heâs not listed as the founderâ¦â
The clerk rolled her eyes at her.
âThink about it! The Shaw Group is a family-owned business thatâs been handed down through the generations.
Obviously, Kyson isnât the founder.
If you had read more carefully, youâd have realized heâs the current CEO!â
Dulcie remained silent.
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
It was truly mortifying.
Just last night, she had excitedly told Kyson she had landed a new job, oblivious to the fact that it was at his company.
What would Kyson think if he saw her here?

Would he believe she intended it? Would he think that she orchestrated this to see him more often, maybe even make him fall for her? That she purposely planned a chance to get near him?
His reactions were always so hard to predict.
Surely, he would tease her, right?
Her emotions were a whirlwind, and her face was contorted with distress as she nearly hunched over the desk.
The woman next to her looked puzzled.
âWhy are you reacting so strongly? Do⦠Do you know Kyson personally?â
Dulcie shook her head.
âNo.
â
Not far away, Kyson was inspecting each employeeâs workspace.
He observed that everyone appeared diligent, sitting upright and focused on their work.
However, in the corner, two slender figures seemed to be trying to conceal themselves.
Kysonâs brow furrowed, and he felt a touch of annoyance.
He wasnât a monster intent on tearing Dulcie apart.
Why was she acting so frightened?
He approached them, feigning nonchalance.
The room was filled with the sounds of typing and clicking.
Despite the noise, Dulcie and her colleagueâs whispers were distinctly audible.
Kyson overheard Dulcieâs last remark-that she didnât know him personally.
His expression darkened.
